Su Yu wiped away the tears from her face and led her up.

Lu Wenjun no longer resisted. She stood, Ren Suyu tied her belt for her, put on her cloak, and then, her hand was also held by Suyu, and she was carried out like a puppet.

At this moment, accompanied by the chaotic sound of boot footsteps from far and near, there was a faint sound of conversation in the courtyard, as if someone had entered, but was stopped by the guards.

Suyu stopped.

A guard quickly came to report that Ashina suddenly broke into the courtyard of the East Chamber, wanting to see Princess Funing. Yuan Zhi, who served as the leader of the wedding team, came forward to stop it, and he was turning around at the moment.

"Why, if I want to see my wife, I need permission from you, a eunuch?"

Cheng Ping seemed to have drunk wine, his gait was slightly vain, and he forced his way in, but was blocked by Yuan Zhi, and Fang stopped at the bottom of the corridor steps, with a sneering voice.

Yuan Zhi bowed and said respectfully: "The prince has misunderstood, how dare I be so arrogant." It's just that it's not early at this moment, and the princess should have slept peacefully, and the prince has broken in like this, in case the princess is frightened. And after all, it has not yet been officially married, so it may not be appropriate to enter the room rashly late at night. If there is anything to do with the prince, why not let me convey it? ”

At this time, several wedding officials who were sleeping next door were also surprised and hurried to arrive. Naturally, they didn't know the inside story, and only used the holy pilgrimage method to dissuade the prince from going back, and they would talk about it tomorrow.

Cheng Ping showed an impatient gloom, and with a blow on his shoulder, the few ceremonial officials who stood in front of him were knocked away, and he waited to board the corridor, and Yuan ordered the guards to block it.

"Get out of here! Otherwise, you're welcome to blame me! Cheng Ping shouted.

The prince was angry. This is a matter of etiquette. If there is really something, why not tell me, let me pass it on first, and see Princess Funing's intentions. If so, how dare I stop it? ”

Yuan Zhi's tone was still respectful, but he obviously didn't mean to back down.

Chengping didn't hear about it, and walked forward on his own, but was blocked by the guards with scabbards. He seemed to be enraged, a fierce light appeared in his drunken eyes, and his hand pressed against the scabbard of his waist knife. The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere turned to solidify.

He suddenly acted so forcefully, and his behavior was really abnormal. Yuan was thinking about stabilizing him first, and when he entered to ask the princess what to do, he heard a clear voice behind him: "Get out of the way!" ”

Princess Funing's voice came from behind the window of her bedroom.

Chengping's tight skin gradually loosened, and his fingers slowly moved away from the waist knife.

"I have something to say. Please ask the princess to give me an interview. He turned to the window and whispered.

After a moment of silence, Lu Wenjun walked out from behind the door and said to Yuan Zhi, "You all go out." ”

Yuan Zhi knew that this should be the meaning of Princess Shouchang, hesitated, and finally took people with him, slowly withdrew from the courtyard, and guarded the gate by himself.

"What are you looking for me?" Lu Wenjun asked again.

The winter moon had risen above the eaves, and the dim light shone on the corridor from the tiles on the eaves.

Cheng Ping stood at the foot of the stairs, looking at the hazy shadow in front of him.

"Go back, you don't have to marry me."

Just when Lu Wenjun gradually tensed up, he suddenly heard him say this.

"Go now, and don't let irrelevant people know."

When he had finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lu Wenjun came back to his senses, subconsciously chased a few steps, and suddenly stopped on the stairs of the corridor.

"What do you mean by that?"

What kind of vicious idea is he having? She thought angrily with a chill in her heart.

The man slowly stopped in the middle of the courtyard and turned his face. At this time, he seemed to have returned to the appearance that had once made her heart move, but now when she thought about it, she was extremely disgusted and didn't care about anything.

I only heard him say lightly: "I told you early in the morning that I am not a good person." It's rare to send a kindness, and before I change my mind, you just do it, and it won't hurt you. Go back, be your lord again! ”

"Next time, pick a man, remember to polish your eyes a little."

At last he said so, and walked away again.

He forcibly came here late at night for such a thing, which Lu Wenjun had never been there anyway. She was momentarily confused, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do next.

Standing upright, the door behind him opened, and Su Yu walked out.

"Stop." She spoke, then came to Lu Wenjun's side and whispered to her to enter the house.

Chengping had already arrived behind the door of the courtyard, and when he heard her voice, the figure paused, stood for a long time, and turned his face.

"You're there too?"

He looked at the rain that stood in the moonlight as he walked down the porch, smiled, and then nodded.

"It turned out to be true." He said to himself.

"Pei Er, he really lied to me and set this trap for me......"

His gaze flickered in the moonlight, and all kinds of expressions suddenly intertwined under his eyes, as if confused, as if angry, but at the end, he exhaled softly, as if everything had melted into a relief of "That's it, it's the best".

Before this strategy was decided, Su Yu deduced many kinds of accidents. Including after the substitution, in case it is recognized by Chengping.

In each case, there is a corresponding response to it.

However, tonight was something she had never thought of before.

In the short interval when Cheng Ping finished speaking and left, Su Yu in the house quickly made this decision.

It is necessary to figure out why Seungpyeong did this. Otherwise, it would be better to give up the whole plan and return in vain than to let Pei Xiaoyuan risk not knowing what kind of trap it is to see Li Yan.

It doesn't matter if Li Yan can't catch it this time, there will be next time, next time. Compared with Pei Xiaoyuan's safety, ten Li Yan is not that important.

"What do you mean?" Su Yu stared at him tightly and asked.

Chengping turned around, looked at her for a moment, and asked, "Pei Er really lied to me?" He didn't want to serve Li Yan, but used himself as bait to lure Li Yan out through me? ”

"Didn't you deceive him first?" Su Yu asked coldly.

"You killed King Kang, although you took advantage of the contradiction between Wenjun and the crown prince King Kang to escape at that time, how can I, Aye, be such a deceitful person? And his suspicions were not dispelled, and he summoned his horse for questioning, and he confessed his sin before me, Aya, to protect you, and said that he had killed him. When he said that, he didn't think about me, he didn't think about his own future. He just wants to save you first. He treats you like this, right? And how do you treat him? I met you for the first time at the beginning of the year in the Ganliang County Shoufu, and the impression you two left on me was that you were close friends. He didn't feel sorry for you. It was you who betrayed first. Or rather, you befriended him from the very beginning with ulterior motives, didn't you? ”

The moonlight was pale in the bearing plane. He was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "How did he know that I had a relationship with Li Yan?" ”

"Is it hard? Your motive for killing King Kang is too strange, and the consequence is to turn the situation upside down, lose the prince and King Kang at once, and ask for half of my Aya's life, who is the most beneficial? It is not difficult to associate with you a little more about the past of your childhood in Chang'an and Li Yan. It's just that the colt is too affectionate and trusts you too much, and when I reminded him, he didn't believe it at first. You are younger than him, and in his eyes, you are at most a stubborn beard who behaves perversely and refuses to be bound by the law of propriety, and although he often commits crimes, he is not a real traitor. He doesn't even think about you like this! ”

"I used to underestimate you......"

He looked at Su Yu, his eyes were a little sleepwalking, and he muttered in his mouth, suddenly, for a moment, his eyes turned to Qingming, and when he spoke again, his tone had changed to a sneer like a little self-deprecation.

"Brothers and sisters are still swords, let alone me, a foreign alien? It's okay to let him completely recognize my face, I am not as good as a beast, and in the future, I will cut off my robe and cut off relations, and I will do things cheaper, and I don't have to have any scruples. But this time, don't worry, princess, Li Yan, I won't reveal half a point. As for whether he can be caught in the end, it depends on how well he is created. ”

He glanced at the door behind Su Yu again. Just moments ago, Lu Wenjun walked in.

"You don't have to doubt what I said to Wen Jun just now. The original purpose of marrying her was to be a hostage, so that Li Yan could rest assured. I don't want to really go back with such a woman who is good for nothing but crying, isn't it asking for trouble. You send her back, that's enough, you don't need her later! Li Yan, I will deal with it. ”

When he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" Su Yu spoke again.

"Why did you do that? What do you know? Why should I believe you? ”

She looked at Chengping's familiar and unfamiliar face in the moonlight, and asked three questions in a row.

Cheng Ping glanced at her: "Princess, does this mean that she still refuses to let me go?" Aren't you afraid that I'll take you hostage by the way? Don't you know that your value now is far greater than anyone else's! ”

"Hostages are nothing more than an exchange. Whatever you want, I can afford it. As for my life, if I have a bad one, you don't want to leave alive. ”

The rain man remained motionless.

"Tell me, how did you guess it was a trap?"

Seungpyeong and she looked at each other for a moment.

"Princess, I confess, I used to underestimate you. This time, you have caught my true face, so that I can no longer hide in front of Pei Er. You took advantage of Pei Er's opportunity to provoke the emperor by apotheizing for me, half-truths and half-truths to create a desperate and frustrated situation to the greatest extent, using Li Yan's desire to win Pei Er's heart, and then using my selfishness to drive me to thread through it, so as to dispel Li Yan's suspicions. I have to say that in such a short period of time, you are really smart to turn an unexpected bad thing that was already at a disadvantage into a good opportunity to capture Li Yan. But you have calculated a thousand things, and you have missed the same calculation. That's what I know about Pei Er. ”

"He and I met in the army since we were young, killed the enemy together, ate a pot of rice together, drank a scoop of wine, wrapped a wolf skin in the ice and snow together, and stayed warm by each other all night. He is the bravest, most bloody, most fearless of ghosts and gods, bold, but also the most gentle and pure person I have ever met. Chen Shao came to me and told me that he already knew that the emperor was the initiator of the Battle of Beiyuan, and he hated and wanted revenge, but he didn't want the Pei family to bear the wrong name, so he was willing to support Li Yan. Is this reason not sufficiently reasonable? For the world, too sufficient, too reasonable! But when I got to Pei Er, I had to be suspicious. ”

"King Kang was killed by me, although it was not premeditated at the time, but in my heart, I may not have had such a thought at that time, if he was misunderstood by the emperor because of King Kang's death, and he can't tolerate his body, then the hope that I have been hoping for him to get into trouble can be realized. But when it happened, I didn't believe it. ”

"From what I know about him, even if this matter is true, he can't let go of his father's hatred and hatred of the extreme saint, and he will end this hatred in other ways, even if there is no hope of revenge in the end, I conclude that he would rather choose to judge himself in order to apologize to the generals than choose to help Li Yan."

"What kind of person is Li Yan? Although there is a noble bloodline from Prince Jingsheng's lineage in his body, he is gentle and elegant on the surface and has an extraordinary demeanor, but he is actually a person who does everything to achieve his goals. You holy dynasty, from the scholars to the street soldiers, talk about us, and your mouth is nothing more than Beidi, a group of outsiders who wear hair and drink blood. This is still polite, but you're welcome, just a group of beasts that can walk upright like you. But I know that many of you seem to be well-dressed, stripped of their skins, and full of hypocrisy, what is the difference between them and us Beidi beasts on the inside? In order to win me over, Li Yan promised that if he won Chang'an one day, he would first allow me to plunder for three days and three nights, and then attribute all the cool land from the northern abyss to me! I'm not the only one he's wooing in. This Chang'an, I'm afraid that in his mouth, I don't know how many iron horses will be robbed in the future, I don't know how many days and three nights! The land north of the abyss, I don't know how many people he has promised it! ”

"Pei Er will not serve this kind of person. In the past, when he was fighting in Xifan, if there was any army that could really be called a benevolent army, and it did not commit any crimes against the people along the way, even if those were Xibo people, it must be his men. It is impossible for such a person to do such a thing. So even though you're perfectly designed and reasonable, my first reaction is to be skeptical. His character determines the lower limit of what he does. He wouldn't do that. Of course, I'm not sure. Because I didn't think at the time that you already knew the secret of my relationship with Li Yan, maybe he didn't fully understand Li Yan, and I did persuade him more than once to start his own trouble, and now if he has a different heart, it is a matter of course to ask me for help. ”

"In the end, I made a decision, whether he really served Li Yan, or if it was just a trap, why don't I do it, just take it as a favor for me to repay him for my crimes, and as a break between me and him for many years. Li Yan had already left the customs as a business traveler a few days ago, and he also dispelled his doubts, and just now, he passed on the location of my appointment. I'm sure there won't be fraud, and I'll pass it on to Pei Er in the agreed way. I've done everything I could. As for whether he can get his wish next, it depends on the will of God. ”

The more Su Yu listened, the more frightened she became, and she stabilized herself.

"Chengping, if I have misunderstood you before, I will make amends to you. But since you are not determined to go to the end with Li Yan, why can't you stop the precipice and continue to work with Pei Er? Wouldn't it be good for you to continue to be brothers who rely on each other to kill each other, as you have done before? ”

Chengping's eyes were slightly watery.

"Princess, I killed first, betrayed the court later, committed such a serious crime, you don't regard me as a beast, and you are willing to give me a way out, I am grateful. But this is no longer possible. Pei Er and I are different people. If he is a dragon elephant, then I am born a wolf. How is it possible to keep walking the same path? It was enough for him to recognize me as a brother for a few years. ”

"You already know about my relationship with Li Yan, so I must have been included in your plan. If my guess is correct, when Li Yan appears, I shouldn't be able to leave. So I originally planned to leave early, so as not to delay, in case I met the brothers who had been eating, drinking and having fun together in Chang'an, and everyone drew their swords against each other. ”

"I'm leaving. Please also ask the princess to make it easier and tell people to get out of the way, and don't embarrass me. ”

Chapter 123

The door of the house was suddenly opened at this time, and Lu Wenjun hurried out of the door and chased behind Chengping.

Cheng Ping's back hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped, turned to Lu Wenjun, and smiled as if he was not smiling.

"By the way, and you. I seem to owe you a lot of ...... too."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Wenjun slapped his face and made a loud snap.

Then, there were a few more "popping" sounds, and she kept pumping until her palms were hot and she couldn't move.

"You wicked man! You fled like this, did you want to completely betray the Holy Pilgrimage, go back and be an enemy of the Holy Pilgrimage, and he will take revenge every day? ”

Cheng Ping didn't move, letting the girl, who had just been canonized as a princess and a few days ago, beat herself, until this moment, Fang met her gaze.

"Wenjun, if you are not a noble lady of the Holy Dynasty, but a person born in another land, the tribe lives a life of tributary and self-proclaimed vassals. Your fate rests on the joys and wrath of others. The Emperor thinks that your neighbor will serve him better, so he will not hesitate to abandon you, take off the hat on your head, give it to your enemy, and order you to bow down and kiss the enemy's boot, and not to take revenge. In order to make you honest and obedient, you will be transferred to Chang'an to be a proton and live a life that is not as good as a dog. Why? Just because we couldn't beat him! ”

"I don't believe my father didn't think about resisting, he never complained. He just didn't dare to take risks! But I don't want to live another life where I trust my fate on the kindness of others! ”

As he spoke, his eyes crossed over to the girl in front of him and fell on the face of the rain behind him.

"Princess, I originally hoped that Pei Er would be able to ascend to the throne. If it were him, I think I would be willing to accept the education and spread the etiquette and righteousness of the Central Plains people like the King of Bohai. Because at least while I'm alive, I won't have to endure the humiliation that will befall me at any time. He's the only one I can trust. Naturally, this wish fell through. But then I came to understand that those were just excuses I made for myself. I knew from the beginning that he was impossible. I want revenge, just for such a simple reason......"

"I'll kill you—"

Lu Wenjun pulled out a crested hairpin from his head and plunged it straight into Chengping's throat.

Chengping did not dodge, and immediately watched the arrival of the hairpin tip, and his face did not change.

Lu Wenjun's hand trembled, closed his eyes, and stabbed indiscriminately.
